iting the sale of liquors in any place where
gambling is carried on. Carried.
Mantle moved an amendment. providing
no liquor be sold in any concert hall, music
hall or other place where music is practiced
or carried on.
Mantle supported his motion in strong
speech, during which he read q petition
from Butte, signed by many prominent
business men, praying the bill do not pass
in the incomplete form presented. Mantle
believed that if the legislature adopt any
measure it should be one which would
sweep musical attractions from all places
where liquor is sold; that allsaloons would
be alike and solely for the sale OF liquor
with no other attractions: He also argued
in favor of leaving the regulation OF the
whole subject to municipal authorities. He
claimed the bill As introduced was q
species OF special legisla ton in effect as it
would apply only to Butte and Helena,
who were, he believed, amply able to take
care of themselves if allowed to do 80. The
amendment was adopted. Also one from

SIGNED THE BILL.
Who Will the President Appoint as the
Interstate Railroad Commission.

Who Will the President Appoint as the
Interstate Railroad Commission.
WASHINGTON, February At is reported
on COED authority that the president, in
conversation on the subject OF the COM
plexion OF the National Railroad Coulmls-
sion, has said that only men of estab-
lished national regulations should be ap
pointed to the places. He takes the ground
that the legislation is OF the most delicate
and important character, and can be sat
isfactorily administered only by gentlemen
OF large experience whom the people know
and trust. This is a death knell to the
prospects of a great many aspirants, but
the news has not as yet been widely dis.
tributed, and personal booms are daily
launched. General Lawton, OF Georgia,
who was appointed to the Russian mission
and found to be ineligible, is looked upon
as q man whom the south would be glad to
see chosen for place on the board. There
are also mentioned G. S. Mitchell, OF Dali
las, an ex-dealer in Observation-Disclosures,
and II, B. Andrews, of San Antonio. Tex.
and E. K. Converse, of New Or
leans. Senator Cullom is suffer-
ing from an impression that prevails that
his advice to the president as to the selec.
tion OF tho two Republican members OF the
board will be of unusual weight. His
assistance is sought by all of the appli-
cants, but as yet to all he is snon-committal.
The belief is that he has friend in Illinois
whom, should he have reason to think his
recommendation would decide matters, he
will press for place.
Most. if not all, the Southern States will
have Democratic candidates for places on
the commission. Virginia presents Con-
gresham J. Randolph Tucker and Col.
Robert B. Beverly Of national prominence
as a granger. From North Carolina there
are Col. George Davis, formerly Confederate
Attorney General and Senator John
Hughes, once Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant-G Governor, and president OF the
| Atlantic & North Carolina railroad.
South Carolina puts forward ex-General,
Ex-Governor and ex-Railroad Commis-
sioner M. L. Bonhnm and General Edward
McGrady, q prominent lawyer and member
OF the Legislature. Georgia has for candi-
dates Ex-Governor and ex-Railroad Com
missioner James Miller Smith and Colonel
John Scrsven, merchant and planter, and
lately President OF tho Savannah, Albany
& Gulf Railroad. General p. M. B.
Young, now Consul. General at st. Peters
burg would like to 60 to Bogota, but is
not candidate for Commissioner.
| The friends of w. L. Bragg, late Presi-
dent of the Alabama Railroad Commits
sion, would like to see him appointed, and
Texas has at least one candidate, in the
person of William w. Long, now Consul at
| Hamburg. Some years ago he was Jay
Gould's immigration agent in Europe. and
lately prominent granger.
LArER.-The President has signed the In

The climax of invention has been reached,
we think. The design is most commenda-
ble-to prevent marketmen from selling
old eggs az fresh ones. The inventor pro-
poses to arrange rubber stamp in the
nest of every hen, with a movable date.
The stamp is connected with pad that is
saturated in indelible ink. An electric disc
is arranged 80 that when tho hen has laid
an egg, her foot touches it, and the stamp
turns over on the ink pad, and then re-
wolves, stamping the date on the egg. On
each evening, after the hens have retired
to their downy roost, the date OF tho estamP
is altered for the next day, and the work
goes on. In this way there can be no
cheating. The dates tell their own story

1 The Ohio River Rising.
CINCINNATI. February 4.-The river reach
ed 81 feet 10 inches at 10 O'Clock this
morning and is still raising at the rate Of
an inch an hour. The apparent DETECTION
OF the cold wave increases the possibility
of disastrous floods here. Access to the
Central passenger depot is now cut off.
Freight movements are also seriously en-
dangered and little more rise will cut off
the freight depots. Disastrous floods are
reported in Big Sandy, Little Miami and
Licking rivers. At Falmouth, on the latter
river, distilleries and saw mills and other
are submerged and suffered
much loss. The river was full of the con-
tents of fields and granaries. Many bridges
ON turnpikes we're carried away throughout
the county. At Butler, Kentucky, the |
Licking river was within a few inches OF the |
highest mark known, which was in 1854. |
In Newport, Kentucky, there is already !
encroachment OF the water.
